Taro Root "Hittsumi" Gnocchi with Sesame Sauce

Wild sesame is very similar to black sesame seeds used in sweets. Since the flavor is so good, I use it in place of regular sesame seeds when cooking. It also supposedly contains neutral fats and helps lower cholesterol, so eating it will apparently help you live 10 years longer. Plus, I can use it often to make local dishes from my hometown, which is why it's one of my favorite ingredients.
-Boil the gnocchi over medium heat to create a plump and delicious texture straight through to the centers.
-Roast the wild sesame in a frying pan over low heat until they begin to pop. Grinding the seeds with a mortar and pestle enhances their flavor. Recipe by *chifon*

Tataki Gobo - Pounded Burdock Root With Sesame Sauce Tataki Gobo - Pounded Burdock Root With Sesame Sauce
I often make this when I have burdock root left over from another dish... it's rather hard to use up a whole burdock root! But then I started to buy burdock root just to make this sesame-sauce dish. (This is a secret, but I do it the lazy way by using store-bought ponzu sauce, sugar, and ground white sesame seeds. Use a 1:1:2 ratio of ponzu sauce, sugar and ground sesame! It's a bit salty, but...)As I wrote in Step 1, this tastes best when there's an equal amount of ground sesame seeds vs. the ★ ingredients. Depending on the season, adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to taste!Start using burdock root from the thin end, and bash it, cut it, split it and throw them into the sesame-vinegar sauce.

Satoimo (Taro Root) and Pork Stir-Fry with Oyster, Mayonnaise and Sesame Sauce Satoimo (Taro Root) and Pork Stir-Fry with Oyster, Mayonnaise and Sesame Sauce
I wanted to serve the satoimo I like so much to my family using flavorings that were slightly different than usual.- You may get away with not using any oil in the frying pan, because of the fat in the pork. (especially if you use a non-stick pan)- The viscous substance covering the satoimo is supposed to help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, and even for helps to prevent senility by stimulating the brain, so don't wash too much of it off.- You can make the recipe more healthy by wiping off excess fat before adding the flavorings.

Firm and Tender Potato Gnocchi with Cream Sauce Firm and Tender Potato Gnocchi with Cream Sauce
Which is better for making gnocchi, plain or strong flour? I made it using both. The gnocchi became slightly firmer using strong flour, so I think using strong flour is better.

Cook gnocchi in boiling water for three minutes at most.When you allow gnocchi to cool in iced water, its surface will be smooth. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by nana recipe cookpad.japan -
